Frequently Asked Questions

What versions of Visual Studio are supported?

All versions of Visual Studio are supported: 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010.

I'm a registered user. Can I use the latest version?

Yes! Registered users get free upgrades for life. Simply download and install the latest version. It will install side by side with the old version and not impact it at all. It will recognize that the old version is fully registered and also install as a registered version with no limitations.

Is my VB.Net code guaranteed to translate to C# perfectly?

Due to Visual Basic's inherent ambiguities (which VBConversions goes the extra mile to resolve), no automated converter can always translate VB.Net to C# perfectly. However, many programs do convert without errors. The 101 sample projects from Microsoft convert and compile without errors, as do hundreds of other publicly available sample VB.Net programs. Other sample programs do have minor problems converting, which are usually easily fixed manually. Your individual results will vary, depending on quality and size of your VB.Net projects.

What types of VB.Net projects can be converted?

All project types can be converted: Windows Forms, WPF, Console, Windows Service, Web Forms, Web Control, Windows Control, Class Library, and Compact Framework projects.

How Do I Convert Web Projects?

You can convert web sites by making them Web Application Projects. Web Application Projects is an add on to Visual Studio 2005 (but built in to Visual Studio 2008 and above). You can download the Visual Studio 2005 Web Application Project add-in here.

Can I Convert Visual Basic 6 Projects?

Not directly, but Visual Basic 6 projects can be upgraded with the VB6 Upgrade Wizard in Visual Studio.Net and then run through the converter. Make sure the upgraded project compiles successfully in VB.Net before attempting to convert it to C#.

What's the Difference Between the Trial Version and the Full Version?

The Trial Version expires in 15 days and is limited to 1100 lines of code.
